Game map "A Trip in the Land" color lithograph print. Auxilliary game for knowledge of Israeli geography, with game instruction booklet. Published by "Sifrut," B. Berloi. Tel Aviv, 1946. Berloi publishing trademark on the map and on the instruction booklet.

The game is intended to give children basic knowledge of the cities and places in the Land of Israel, as the publisher writes in the instruction booklet: "To facilitate the knowledge of the existence of various places in the Land of Israel." The game has six trip tracks. The game board is actually a geographic map of the Land of Israel, from Rosh HaNikra to Metullah in the north, from the east to Jordan and the Kinneret and to the south of the Dead Sea in the east. The map indicates roads of different levels, the Chagiz rail line, mountain indicators, ruins and springs, cities, Jewish and Arab settlements, orchards and more. Settlements of historic-political-moral importance of the time were emphasized with the addition of illustrations next to their names. Tel Aviv's city symbol appears next to the city. An illustration of the tower of David is next to the city of Jerusalem, next to Tiberias, an illustration of Rabbi Meir Baal HaNes's gravesite.
